ENGAGING WITH ADVERSITY, LOSS, AND MORTALITY THROUGH THE ARTS AND INTERPLAY

Josefina V Gabuya

Establish connection, find support, build community, and learn how to handle grief and loss. Be willing to be the art-makers - dancers, painters, practitioners, singers, storytellers, writers, and others.. This class is part of the Oakland InterPlay second Saturday Leader Showcase series. Come join us for two and a half hours of facilitated connection, expression, and play on the second Saturday of the month. Come to as many or as few as you like. Each month a different Bay Area leader will guide the group, using the forms of InterPlay and the wisdom of the body to facilitate connection to others and ourselves in the grounded, playful ways that InterPlay makes easy. These workshops are great for any level of InterPlay experience, whether you are new to InterPlay or have been to the studio many times. COVID & Health Protocol: If you’ve been sick or been around someone who’s been sick in the last five days, please stay home and join us another time. Masks are welcome, but not required. We have high ceilings and run an air purifier. Transportation and parking: Our lovely studio is in urban Oakland. If driving, we recommend parking on major streets like Grand Avenue and Telegraph Avenue (and not 23rd) and not leaving things in your vehicle. If you pay for parking with the Park Mobile app it will be easy to add more to the meter virtually. We are also close to BART, several bus lines, and protected bike paths. There is good bike parking on Telegraph, and you're also welcome to bring your bike inside the studio. Are you a certified InterPlay leader or someone working on your certification who would like to lead as part of this series? Please reach out to Amos Lans or John Diller via the links or phone numbers in the InterPlay Leaders section of the website. We welcome local and visiting leaders.
